In this episode of The Therapy Show, I'm joined by Kylee Nelson, LMFT, a specialist in perinatal mental health. Kylee shares her expertise on the six most common perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, and psychosis. She also discusses the often-overlooked condition of neurodivergence in the perinatal period.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the six most common perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.
• Analyze the statistics of individuals struggling with infertility and infant loss and evaluate how this impacts mental health.
• Distinguish the differences between 'baby blues' and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.

About Kylee Nelson: Kylee Nelson, LMFT, has dedicated her career to working with children and families, beginning in 2013 in community mental health. Starting as a case manager during graduate school, she later transitioned to the role of a therapist. In January 2020, Kylee established her own practice, focusing exclusively on perinatal mental health.

For the past three years, Kylee has been utilizing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support mothers, and she is passionate about helping other providers feel more confident in using this approach with their clients. As a mother herself, Kylee was inspired to specialize in perinatal mental health after experiencing perinatal anxiety and OCD symptoms and struggling to find a provider who was trained and understood her needs. This personal experience fueled her commitment to this field.
